Do evap lines ever get darker over time?

Hi all,

So this morning I took a clearblue ultra early test before work and I'm pretty sure I saw a faint line. I've come back from work and looked at the test and the line is darker blue and prominent. I know you shouldn't read tests after the time window but my question is if this morning what I saw was an evap line then would it have gotten darker in colour over time? Or did i actually see a positive this morning?

Here is a pic of it this evening, forgot to take one this morning as was in a rush for work!

@AliCastle86 try doing another one or a digital. There's no confusion with a digital it spells it out. I thought mine was an evap line but here I am 9 weeks and 5 days 🥰😁

AliCastle86 · 30/11/2021 08:23

I'm in the same boat! Nothing on the test after the 3 mins and when I came back, there was a line, it's definitely blue but not sure how to add a photo!

@SWAttempting that's good news!! Congratulations!!

Iris26 · 13/11/2021 22:14

@SWAttempting it sure was, I did a digital and it said 2-3 weeks, I was shocked. I was only 4 days late so I think I must of ovulated early for the hcg to be so strong. And a massive congratulations 👏 no confusion with a digital Grin

@AAC1991

Hi guys, I have done two clear blue tests due to having really sore boobs. I took these 4 days before my period was due. The first was negative however about 15 mins later, a line came up. I did however think this was an evap line. I then did a test the next day and it was negative in the first 3 mins however I rushed out the door to work and then my boyfriend sent me a picture of it and it was positive. Does anyone know if these would be evap lines? Thank you
More than likely. Best try with an FRER or a pink dye. Those ones I posted above turned out to be evap lines...

I do now however have a BFP

@Iris26

Hey *@BobbyT85* did you take another test. I'm thinking the same. I don't know if this is evap line or positive. Do evap lines get darker? Here's some pics. I really don't know what to think
This are BPF

[quote BobbyT85]@SWAttempting no still heard nothing I’m getting really frustrated now how hard can it be to give me the results[/quote]
I've got this and still trying to interpret....

I just looked back through the positive tests from the last time and we only had a faint positive the equivalent of today in comparison post ovulation, and didn’t get a strong positive until the equivalent of Tuesday, nor a positive digital until the equivalent of Thursday so I guess I have to be patient

These are the tests from the last few days blue dye clear pink dye looks more like a colour run also the sainsburys test has faded on one side since drying out you can still see the width of the line but faint on one side now

@BobbyT85

Hi I’ve had more clear blue positives, and 2 sainsburys tests positive since I’m suffering badly with sickness and pain in left lower side I went to A&E on Tuesday night they done a strip test which was negative but to be fair I had sat and drank 3 cups of water to force a sample quickly it was very clear, however they done a blood test I waited 2 hours for results and they sent me home doctor said he would call me when they came back I’ve since heard nothing been chasing it up for 4 days now A&E finally said this morning they would get a nurse to phone me to discuss my results and I’m still waiting so I’m no further forward, I did get another faint positive on a pink dye strip test on Wednesday morning however yesterday another negative on the same test
Did A&E nurse ever call you??
BobbyT85 · 30/10/2021 12:35

@Iris26 amazing congratulations ☺️

Iris26 · 30/10/2021 08:52

@BobbyT85 I hope you find out soon. Must be very frustrating just feeling in limbo.

Mine was indeed a positive. I did a digital test and it spelled it out which I'm pretty sure it's all still sinking in :)

BobbyT85 · 29/10/2021 23:41

@Iris26 I’d say yours is a very clear positive ☺️

Also here for advice please! (New to this forum). Had a very small amount of spotting for a couple days which stopped yesterday? Was sure I was getting AF but then I have strange twangs down there and feel really exhausted today. I took a clear blue which was initially negative but then looked a couple hours later (I know you shouldn’t do that) and it has a very faint line (too hard to photograph sorry!) with more prominent blue at the top and bottom of the line in the window. Evap line?? I am day 29 of my cycle and am expecting AF tomorrow. The spotting was odd, too early to test maybe if that was implantation bleeding? I took a First Response test this morning and it was negative… so confused. We lost our baby at 3 months in May and am back on Letrozole trying to conceive (fifth course after loss). I should have taken shares in a Pregnancy Test company by now! Haha. I hate this part… really hoping by some miracle I am pregnant as the pills make me so nauseous each time I have to take them :(

Iris26 · 28/10/2021 17:52

@Dani7 hell of a wedding present 🙈😂 try again tomorrow in morning with first wee 🤞 for you

Dani7 · 28/10/2021 14:34

Yes, I would definitely say yours is positive then 😀 Possibly a little overwhelming for you right now, but what a great early wedding present!
I can’t work out if mine has colour as it’s so faint 🙈 I suppose I just have to wait and see but I’m so impatient!

Iris26 · 28/10/2021 14:31

@Dani7 first pic was few mins others were gradual up to 20 mins. But I asked my sis and she said its defo not an evap line, she said evap lines are usually grey or colourless. Does yours have some colours? She said to do another so I did a digital and I'm 2-3 weeks pregnant. I am in shock. I'm getting married next month and my hen is tomorrow and we wasn't going to try til after wedding

Dani7 · 28/10/2021 14:20

How long after was this? I would definitely say pregnant 😀

Dani7 · 28/10/2021 14:17

Oh and I don’t know if taking out the casing has caused an issue but I thought it was the glare on the plastic causing the line!

Dani7 · 28/10/2021 14:17

Also here for advice 🙈 This was my first test yesterday…evap or positive line came up about 5 mins after. Took another this morning thinking it will be more obvious and it’s basically the same (second pic). Went and bought different brand - cheap strips as I’ve spent a fortune on tests haha. And that was negative! Don’t know what to think. 3 days late, still no period. Really sore boobs and stomach cramps - but has been like this for days now
